Exhibition summary

This group exhibition features works by eight contemporary artists who explore the body through painting and sculpture. The artists employ strategies of omission, displacement, and abstraction to represent selfhood as a felt, internal experience.

Curatorial context

Like Music in the Blood presents a curated selection of works by eight contemporary artists: Benjamin Orlow, Emil Sands, Galli, Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings, Kira Freije, Suleman Aqeel Khilji, Tanoa Sasraku, and Tiona Nekkia McClodden. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the body not just as a physical entity, but as a vessel for complex, unspoken experiences. Working across the mediums of painting and sculpture, the featured artists explore the themes of selfhood and identity. By using techniques such as omission, displacement, projection, and abstraction, they represent the fractured nature of translating inner personal experience into tangible material form. The show frames these works as akin to a privately known language, existing beneath the surface and deeply felt.
